Jim Wallis - Rediscovering Values: On Wall Street, Main Street, and Your Street
Start: 7:30 pm
Historic LoDo: Jim Wallis is a bestselling author, public theologian, speaker, preacher, and international commentator on religion, public life, faith, and politics. He is president and CEO of Sojourners, where he is editor-in-chief of Sojourners magazine. Wallis will discuss and sign his new book Rediscovering Values: On Wall Street, Main Street, and Your Street ($24.00 Simon & Schuster). Wallis believes we need a new normal, and this economic crisis is an invitation to discover what that means. Some of the principles he unpacks for our new normal are: Spending money we don’t have for things we don’t need is a bad foundation for an economy or a family. It’s time to stop keeping up with the Joneses and start making sure the Joneses are okay. The values of commercials and billboards are not the things we want to teach our children. Care for the poor is not just a moral duty but is critical for the common good. And more. In the pages of this book, Wallis provides us with a moral compass for this new economy.
